Connaught Place in itself does not need to be defined or
introduced anymore. Neither do we need any reason to visit it. It’s the heart
of the Delhi and nowadays can even be termed as a food and lounge hub. Everyday
this place gives us a surprise gift all wrapped up in form of a new café or a
pub to celebrate life in our own way. 52
Janpath is a special one for the people.
52 Janpath is like a hidden gem making its way away from
the bustling and busy avenue that is Janpath. One needs to pass a narrow dim
lighted alley to enter the property and experience the visual treat and a
feeling of comfort that is conveyed and feels like ‘Home’. That’s exactly what their tagline is –“Home
away from home”. The area is more like a living room comprising of contemporary
sofas with fireplace, modern sofas with full fledged study rack next to it,
wing chairs and dining tables. There is an outdoor seating too which again is
very beautiful and can be enjoyed best in winters.
The food and drinks served here are remarkable, a
perfect blend of innovation, creativity and flavors resulting in a master dish. Some of the best non alcoholic drinks available here are
- Monk n Cinnamon Mojito, Strawberry Basil Caipiros, Virgin Sangria Mango n Cinnamon
slush. All the drinks are very refreshing complimented by fresh fruits.
The cocktail menu too has a good list to offer. Some of
the cocktails which can make anyone hold their glasses till the end are Green Apple
Martini, Margarita, Mexican Brothers, Old Fashioned and Sangrias.
Food - There is nothing at all which cannot impress a
foodie with its taste rather some of the dishes carry such wow factor,
portraying nothing but excellence.
Duo of Char Grilled Chicken - Mascarpone and Saffron, Burnt
Garlic and Kaffir lime marinade.
Cold Open Wontons - This is one of the most creative dish
one can think of. Semolina cups filled with herbs and litchi. Health meets
taste perfectly!!
Lousiana cottage cheese - Large chunks of cottage cheese
filled with secret filling, marinated in yoghurt n spices.
Caponata Strudel (parcel )- Phylo bites, artichoke,
mushrooms, caramelized onion, goat cheese.
Celtic Caesar - Lettuce tossed with parmesan onion and Caesar
dressing topped with homemade croutons available in both veg/non veg options.
Pasta/pizza/burger - A foodie can never be satiated without
these options, therefore the chef here does not leave a chance to feed them
happily.
Rigatoni Genovese and Toscana are the best available
options in pasta, comprising of fresh veggies/prawns and cheese.
Pizza – CPR Pizza, a crusty base loaded with chorizo,
pepperoni, rocket leaves, cherry tomato and parmesan cheese. A true delight for
any non-vegetarian. Rusticana pizza,
loaded with wilted spinach, corn, red onion, ricotta and jalapeño.
Burger - Cantina burger, what makes this burger special n gooey is the kidney beans patty. The burger is huge and heavenly stuffed with huge patty and veggies. The best option available in non veg burger is the three little meat sliders.

52 Janpath has not only pulled out the international
cusines to its best but has even highlighted the Indian dishes perfectly. The
main course menu covers all the Indian delights very well. Wild mushroom Matar,
Dal Makhni, Cottage cheese roulade, Ammas mutton curry, Bibi ka mutton pulao, Pineapple
fried rice are some dishes which have the original Indian taste with a play of
innovation and presentation.
Nothing is better than a good dessert to end a food
journey. This place serves multiple desserts to make that journey more
fascinating. Tiramisu, chocolate mud and mango cheesecake are one of those.
52 Janpath is a place which one can mark for spending
all the good times and occasions with leisure and of course food.
